Devfolio

okay so this was the first event i've ever hosted. we got 150+ registrations for a room that could barely fit 50, and somehow it all came together. humans x agents, bengaluru, is officially a wrap and i'm still processing how good it actually was. i was a bit nervous. but the room made it so easy. people walked in curious, stayed engaged, asked sharp questions, shared honest demos. nobody was there to perform, everyone was there to build. that's rare. a few thank yous because none of this happened alone: to our sponsors, you backed a first time host and a room full of builders, and i'm still kind of in disbelief. Qualcomm Developer, Devfolio (#DevConIndia), NitroStack, DevRev. thank you for making this real. to our speakers, Kartikey, Denver, Abhishek, Madhav you set the tone for everything that followed. real talk, real demos. exactly what this space needs more of. to Nimit from Agentic AI For Good, thank you for reminding everyone why this work matters beyond the demos and the dashboards. to Shreyas, Virang, Shankar, and everyone who showed up for the builders session with questions and work in progress, you're the reason that part felt alive. to Akshita and Sujoy, you flew down to be there. i still can't fully wrap my head around that. thank you, genuinely. to Bhupesh and Dev for all the pictures and vibes xD to Achyut, co-founder at project humans in the loop, none of this exists without you. thank you for trusting me with this and building it alongside me. and then there were the people who just made the room what it was. Om Sarraf, Yash Daga, Md Shaheer Ahmed, Tushar Agrawal, Bhumika Arora, Aditya Rawat, Anushka Prio, Mihir Deshmukh, Katyayani Nath , Shreya Sinha, Yuvraj Agarwal, Mihir Shri, Purna Srivatsa and so many others i'm probably forgetting because my brain is still mush. every conversation taught me something. thank you for showing up the way you did. to everyone who squeezed into that tiny room and made it feel like something special, this is just the start. <3 more soon 🚀

The shortest (and the most spontaneous) hackathon I've ever done. I happened to be in Singapore for something else when I came across a post by Devfolio about a hackathon they were running called "Push to Prod", sponsored by Anthropic, Genspark, and Temasek. I had never joined a hackathon abroad before, and the timing was too perfect to ignore, so I registered last minute, showed up solo with no team and no plan, and ended up having one of the most fun vibe-coding experiences of my life with some of the coolest people I've met in the industry. 5 hours of building, 2 minutes of pitching, and somehow a podium finish 😆 The project I built is "Unscatter", an AI-native company brain that takes messy knowledge in any form (voice, text, file uploads, even screen captures with context) and organizes everything into a structured second brain. The idea came from long brainstorming sessions with Claude, but the deeper inspiration came from my girlfriend Sharen Angelina (Btw, she's a fantastic photographer), who works in a non-tech role and constantly struggles with how hard it is to document tacit knowledge in a fast-moving team. Watching her wrestle with that made it real for me, and this one's for her. What seemed to resonate most with the audience was the ability to export any topic from your second brain as a SKILL.md that plugs directly into Claude Code without manual prompting, and your team's tacit knowledge just becomes context your AI dev tools can use natively. Building this made something click for me: engineering has always been about solving problems in a structured, effective way, and code just happened to be the medium for the last few decades. Today a well-organized markdown file can be as much of an "engineering artifact" as a well-written function, just with a different surface area. A few things I'm carrying home: 🟠 Stop waiting for the perfect idea. The bar has moved so fast that products being celebrated today would've been written off as working demos a few years ago, and people who'd never written a line of code were shipping real, working things in 5 hours. The idea you've been sitting on for months is probably already good enough to start! 🟠 Taste is doing more of the heavy lifting now. AI can match us on syntax and execution all day long, but it still can't tell you what's worth building, what feels right to a user, or what matters enough to ship. That part is still very, very human. Massive thanks to the organizers, the sponsors, the speakers, and every builder I met who shipped genuinely impressive work in 5 hours. Honestly, every one of them deserved a podium spot. Huge shoutout to the other winners Freddy Lim, Shaikh Mohamed Irfan, and Danish Khalled for building such incredible products! To anyone on the fence about joining a hackathon, just go. You'll surprise yourself. Onto the next one!!! 🚀 Github: https://lnkd.in/gMzAi5d8
